Superman New Cape
Warning! Spoilers for DC Pride #1 by DC Comics
In a brand new look at a heartwarming story from the upcoming DC Pride anthology from DC Comics, Superman gets a new cape that's the perfect modern upgrade for the hero. In a sneak peek at the Jon Kent-starring story, his boyfriend Jay Nakamura gives him a colorful new cape with the Pride Flag that turns out to be a fitting gift for the bisexual hero.
Jon Kent is currently Superman in the DC Comics universe, as the hero replaced his father after he went off to save alien refugees and enslaved people on Warworld. Since Kal-El's been gone, Jon has undergone a journey of self-discovery, which includes coming out as bisexual after getting into an exciting new relationship with Jay Nakamura. Kent will appear in the upcoming DC Pride anthology, where the hero will get a new cape with a special meaning related to his continually evolving identity.
Colorist Triona Tree Farrell shared her contributions to the upcoming DC Pride Anthology from DC Comics, where she contributed to a Jon Kent Superman story alongside Devin Grayson, Nick Robles, and Aditya Bidikar. The preview pages show Superman's boyfriend, Jay Nakamura, giving his partner a gift. Kent opens the present and pulls out a new cape with the Pride Flag (with LGBTTQQIAAP colors) stitched to the inside. Kent looks thrilled to get the new cape from Jay, as he shares a smile after receiving the cape from his new partner.
Everyone I did a short in the #DCPride special which has a Final Order Cutoff for Sunday. I am so jazzed to be working with Devin Grayson, @ArtofNickRobles and @adityab! Please pre-order if you can!
I have also wanted to work on a Superman comic and I'm SO happy it's this one! pic.twitter.com/NAJnqU0BI5

Jon Kent's Superman is a welcome addition to this year's DC Pride anthology from DC Comics, as the hero's coming-out story has been one of the best story arcs from the publisher this year. His relationship with Jay Nakamura has brought a much-needed male, bisexual perspective to one of DC's most recognizable faces, as his romance seems built to last. DC Pride 2022's anthology will also feature all-new stories starring Batwoman, Aquaman, Superman, Nubia, Green Lantern, Jess Chambers' Flash, Poison Ivy, Harley Queen, and the Dreamer.
The Jon Kent-starring story, "Super Pride," will feature the warm moment between the hero and his boyfriend, as the cape represents the perfect modern upgrade for the hero. Even if he never wears the Pride Flag-themed cape in action as Superman, it represents the hero like never before. Although, it would be cool to see Superman wear the colorful cape, as it would make for a landmark moment for representation in the pages of DC Comics. Readers can see Jon Kent's Superman receive the new cape in DC Pride 2022 from DC Comics, which arrives in comic book stores on May 31, 2022.
I just puked a little in my mouth
“DC Comics (and others) are well and truly dead.”
Who buys them now?
Why is Superman still white?
Not the one in Godfather Part II
I have no idea of what all that stuff means, other than gross perversion... and don’t care to know. I wouldn’t even try to guess. I’ve tuned it all out, and simply ignore their movie promos, articles about them, protests etc.
Can’t be hereditary. There is no homosexual gene. It is a taught learned behavior or else it would not have to be “taught” to young kids in the school system or anywhere else.
Illegitimate. For one, his outfit is indestructible since it’s from Krypton. No earthly accessory would suffice. It would tear or burn off in a second.
Some cases of transsexuality are probably due to chimerism. Some cases of homosexuality may be due to the same thing.
You do not know whether or not there is a homosexual gene or combination of genes that predispose to it, and your pronouncement that homosexuality can't be hereditary is as silly and meaningless as the pronouncements that it is a variation of normal and not a disease at all.
Uhmm, Batman and Robin? An unmarried, grown man running around in a tight body suit with an adolescent boy who has a secret underground lair? That is a pedo fantasy if there ever was one.
Look up in the Sky! It’s a bird, no a plane no it’s a flying bu**plug:-)
Ah jeez, not this shite again.
Can’t the homos leave anything alone?
Clark and Lois couldn’t do the wild thing anyway, so no swishy kids possible, Larry Niven settled the issue back in ‘69, see:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_of_Steel,_Woman_of_Kleenex
Even as a kid, I was not a fan of comics. This is absolutely disgusting. Of course, this is but one way the ‘gay mafia’ ‘reproduces’ their kind.
Maranatha!
Definitely.😫
Man of steel, homo of tissue paper.🙄
That’s Jonathan, Superman’s bisexual (or maybe purely homosexual now) son.
:-/
least they could do would be to dress one up like an indian and the other like a sailor...
You DO realize that Superman when he was created was meant to be a deconstruction towards that precise bit, right? He was named after the Ubermensch, yet his creators made sure to avoid using him to promote it. When he got his start, Superman, then named William Dunn, was basically someone similar to, say, Red Skull from the 1990s Captain America, a young vagrant who basically was convinced by a misanthropic and very much elitist chemist to undergo an experiment to have him undergo superpowers via a meteorite. It’s a success, but Dunn, undergoing the very path of the Ubermensch crafting his own values instead of embracing what Nietzsche crassly called “slave morality”, basically started doing lots of things for his own embetterment at the expense of everyone else, planned to conquer the world with his newfound power, and was even implied to have used his newfound telekinetic abilities to start setting the pieces for World War II. Eventually, he and the professor get into a fight over who will continue using the stone, Dunn kills the professor, but his death takes the secret with him, and he ends up being resigned to go back to the breadline. Simon and Schuster specifically created him to be a criticism towards Nietzsche’s writings. Even when he was rewritten to be the extraterrestrial do-gooder in blue and a red cape that we all know and love, he still deconstructed the concept of the Ubermensch in another way: He retained the small-town values that Ma and Pa Kent instilled onto him, and used his powers to SERVE humanity, NOT have humanity serve him (that “slave morality” that Nietzsche demanded be cast aside is essentially small town values, meaning that if anything Superman lifts UP the common man.).
And quite frankly, up with the regular folk is unfortunately how we got the French Revolution and Ferguson, even Marxism while we’re at it. And I’ve seen people when justifying the Reign of Terror actually call the Founding Fathers “elitists.” By that same token, the Founding Fathers themselves are antithetical. As is Christianity for that matter.
Either way, I agree with the topic, what they did to Superman by giving him a rainbow cape is just a travesty and disgusting. And I don’t care if it’s Clark Kent or his son Jonathan Kent, it’s still a disgrace to the character we all know and love.
Seriously? Batman and Robin are more like a vigilante group/extra legal group that are fighting criminals. And Batman is more like a father figure to Robin (usually, Robin’s own father was killed by one of the criminals, so Batman takes him under his wing to teach him how to fight crime due to Gotham being too lawless to have its police be much use, and not for a lack of trying either).
Besides, you forgot that Batgirl, who last I checked is FEMALE, is one of the people under Batman’s wing. Heck, she was largely created alongside the pre-Kane Batwoman specifically to AVERT any implications towards Batman and Robin being a gay couple (which makes it all the more tragic and sick that the Kane version was turned into a lesbian. Gee, what’s the point of making Batwoman, aka one of the few definite links to Batman being straight, if she were a lesbian?).
